Hey all, I was considering applying to St. Joseph's University Long Island campus, but I am having a tough time finding the exact tuition costs. Anyone have some solid info on this? Additionally, any insights on financial aid availability would be greatly appreciated!
Hey! The tuition for attending St. Joseph's College Long Island campus for the 2023-2024 academic year is approximately $33,000 for full-time undergraduate students. Keep in mind that this figure only covers tuition and you should also factor in additional costs, such as housing, meals, and other fees. These can vary depending on your specific living arrangements and personal spending habits.
In terms of financial aid, St. Joseph's College is committed to helping students finance their education. They provide several options for assistance, including merit-based scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study programs. Merit-based scholarships are awarded based on your academic achievements, and you may automatically be considered for these when you submit your application. Grants, such as the Pell Grant and the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), are typically awarded based on financial need, and you can be considered for them by filling out the FAFSA and, for TAP, the New York State Aid application (if you're a New York resident).
If you're interested in work-study opportunities, you'll also need to submit the FAFSA and indicate your interest in work-study on the application. It's important to submit your FAFSA as early as possible, as financial aid is often awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
